And there's no way you'll convince me that my people are lying to me.

Seems it's just me, but I'm getting a little tired of that trope. Every Disney (and Pixar for that matter) animated film released since, like, 2010 tries overly hard to make audiences "feel" and it's getting a little too predictable.
If I didnt wanted to feel a thing. Id watch a Transformers marathon.

Then why isn't the park hitting capacity on a regular basis? Why don't they implement ticket controls? Why aren't actual wait times out of control? Something doesn't add up.
The two things I can think of is when you go to a park in TDR you stay the whole day because of how their ticket media works. There's no 3 hour jaunts in on day 9 of my MYW. Second, if MK double counts admits on party nights that adds what? Another 50 operating days?

Seriously, comparing everything to Tokyo Disneyland is becoming a message board meme/cliche.

If you want to be the best, you have to beat the best...WDW doesn't so far want to be the best. Having visited TDR 3 times (going on 4 in November) I fully believe TDL's numbers are higher than MK's IF they were both counted the same way. I have a feeling that WDW's are counted differently...not wrong necessarily, but as others mentioned, hard ticket evening events can skew things.

This was the sea of humanity coming to TDL at around 7:30 AM the last time I was there in September 2014...no special holiday or anything, and it was a Wednesday IIRC.

THAT is an excellent question. I need to ask my Bothans on that.

Edit: Yes, Hard Ticket Events count towards that day's admission. So if you've got a sold out 30K HTE, thats added on to whatever came through the gate for that day. So if only 25K came earlier, you've now got 55K for the day.

I've always believe that TDR has lager crowds than the MK. Wait times always seem to be in the 3 hour range

What is this 'Vacation' you speak of - Usually I can grab a long weekend before I go back to fight the corporate wars and family stays without me. The US is the ONLY first world nation without mandated vacation and let's face it if you USE your vacation you are not seen as a 'team player' at most companies in Corporate America.

Yet Germany outperforms the US on most economic measures and has functioning heavy industry and their workers get 4 WEEKS of vacation in addition to being better paid than their US counterparts, Yet to hear the titans of industry a couple of sick days for employees will cause immediate bankruptcy for their enterprises.

For crying out loud CHINA has two weeks mandatory vacation!
The pay differential between US and Germany applies to mid level and hourly workers. The large difference applies to the executive level where US executives make exceedingly more than their German conterparts. Executive compensation disparity the cause of a great deal of friction within what was DaimlerChrysler.

Yeah I get editorial control is a big deal and that business(sponsors) and editorial control should be separate. But that was a horrible story, my response pretty much was o_O:cautious::bored::hungover:. I don't think he was high or visible enough for me to care what or who he was doing. It's kind of like when they use current or former CM arrested in the news. It's not really news, it just makes headlines.

Exactly, it was horrible editorial judgement in the first place.

Do I think it was newsworthy? Not really. But Gawker is there for sensationalism. And when a married guy with kids (whose brother was Secretary of the Treasury) tries to hook up with a male escort, well ... that's right up their alley.

I wouldn't have run the story. But I wouldn't work for them to start with. They're like TMZ. You know what you're getting.

You say that as if it's something we should be upset about. I for one prefer Uni not being as busy as MK, but that's just me ;)

My last day there in December was absolute bliss. 'Angie' and I saw everything in eight plus leisurely hours where everything was a walk-on. EVERYTHING. In both parks. ... I have a hard time dealing with the crowds at the MK for two reasons: 1.) I hate crowds; and 2.) Nothing there in 2015 is truly worth the hassles you accept when being there.
